The present invention is applied to a power system of a power plant including a three-winding transformer, and relates to a double incoming breaker system, including: a plurality of main circuit breakers respectively connected one by one to the plurality of first non-safety class high voltage buses and the plurality of second non-safety class high voltage buses; a plurality of auxiliary circuit breakers, one of which is connected in series to one of the plurality of main circuit breakers; a first power source measurer installed to correspond to the main circuit breaker and measuring a power source level of a non-safety class high voltage bus applied to the main circuit breaker; a second power source measurer installed to correspond to the auxiliary circuit breaker and measuring a power source level at an installed first point thereof; and a controller that outputs a first open signal to the main circuit breaker when an abnormal situation of the non-safety class high voltage bus is checked through the power source level measured by the first power source measurer, and outputs a second open signal to the auxiliary circuit breaker when it is determined that the main circuit breaker fails through the power source level at the first point measured by the second power source measurer after outputting the first open signal.

A power supply comprises voltage regulation circuitry, a load-share controller, and overcurrent protection circuitry. The voltage regulation circuitry is configured to output a regulated voltage. The load-share controller is configured to control the voltage regulation circuitry to adjust the regulated voltage responsive to a load-share voltage signal (LSV) that indicates an amount of load current being delivered to a load. The overcurrent protection circuitry is configured to selectively couple the regulated voltage to the load. When the load current exceeds a threshold current, the overcurrent protection circuitry is configured to decouple the regulated voltage from the load. While the regulated voltage is decoupled from the load, and when the LSV signal indicates that load current is being delivered to the load by a different power supply, the overcurrent protection circuitry is configured to recouple the regulated voltage to the load.

An electronic system for a surgical instrument is disclosed. The electronic system comprises a main power supply circuit configured to supply electrical power to a primary circuit. A supplementary power supply circuit configured to supply electrical power to a secondary circuit. A short circuit protection circuit coupled between the main power supply circuit and the supplementary power supply circuit.

The invention relates to a single-phase, equipotential, self-powered recloser with a load life of more than 20 years, for installing in 15 KV medium-voltage networks, directly on Matthews-type fuse bases, using hooksticks, and without requiring the interruption of the energy supply. Said recloser uses a bistable electromagnetic actuator that controls a vacuum bulb for interrupting the current in the event of a fault. It stores energy in ultracapacitor banks which receive the first charge by means of an induction coil.

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) circuit is used to protect an internal circuit. The ESD circuit includes: an ESD clamp, having a first terminal connected to a power and a second terminal connected to a ground voltage; and a first switch, connected between an ESD terminal of the ESD clamp and the internal circuit. A gate of the first switch is controlled by a state signal in the ESD clamp to turn off the first switch when an ESD event occurs on the first terminal of the ESD clamp and turn on the first switch when the ESD event does not occur.
